The Turkish Cricket Team is a fledgling team which represents the nation of Turkey in International Cricket competitions. They are not officially endorsed by the International Cricket Council and are therefore not entitled to participate in ICC Official events, however they do have an application to the European Cricket Council pending, which should see them granted Affiliate Status in the near future.
The history of Turkish cricket is documented in the book 'Slogging The Slavs: A Paranormal Cricket Tour from the Baltic to the Bosphorus', by Angus Bell, released in December 2006 by Fat Controller Media. In the book, the author travels to Istanbul to hit the city's cricket captain, Mubashir Kahn, from Europe into Asia.
